I think that was dependent on us being able to manage our finances correctly. Which we weren’t able to do. So we have to eat these seasons of poo sandwiches for a while whilst we 'learn'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, that looked like a shrewd investment. Sadly, in typical Wednesday fashion, any value he once had has now been p*ssed down the drain and we face the very real prospect that he'll walk away for nothing in a year's time. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I was talking to a mate the other day and we got talking about chance we didn't take can you remember when we signed Kenwyn Jones from Southampton I think we had agreed a fee of £500k to make the loan a permanent but the club decided against it and a few years later they sold him for £8m to Sunderland.

That's the scary thing. Every single one of our 'big money' signings has been a poor financial transaction. Joao is the only one where we benefitted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesWalker Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The issue isn't paying the £3m - Its how that would impact our P&S accounts. If we signed him on a 4 year deal we would amortise 750k a year. Its the impact this would have along with his wages that would be the stumbling block.

Bouncing Owl Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure if he is needed with us playing 3-5-2. Would you come to us if you were asked to play as a wing back when in reality he is a wide attacker ? I like him, I think he’s a good player but I’d only pursue if we go to a 4-3-3 of 4-1-4-1 formation.

He worked hard on the defensive side of this position as well. If we are playing 3-5-2 then we need big contributions from wing backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy87shef Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m not sure but with the stadium sale, Joao and Bruce fees and the amount of huge earners we’ve gotten off the wage bill I would have thought a price like this should fit easily into P&S. I could be wrong. Also with covid are they changing the rules at all? Clubs like ours will miss out on a huge chunk of our overall revenue, surely we can’t just be expected to fit into the £39m over 3 years bracket. Especially those clubs who already have Hugh fixed costs that were offset against ticket revenue and marchday income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadABallacks Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Doubt we can afford him, but £3m seems a good deal to me for a player of that caliber, experience and at a good age. Wages probably an issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total bargain. Need to spend any money we have to secure this signing. I keep posting it but nobody seems to want to believe it. We are operating under a soft embargo. We will have been instructed what our transfer fee level is and what we are allowed to pay in wages for any new signings, permanent or loan. Look at who we've brought in and try disagree.
